The Only Girl at Alpha Academy

Chapter 6 Bad Feeling

　　NATALIA'S POV

　　Leaving the clerk's office, my eyes wandered around the school as my tears stung my eyes. I felt pitiful at the moment and my heart was filled with dangerous thoughts.

　　For a moment, I even considered returning to my pack but I hastily dismissed that idea after remembering the condition of the pack and the trust Nate had in me.

　　These days, way before I came into the academy, I'd been thinking about how it might be possible for me to cure Nate when I grow stronger, and that was also one of my motivations. Leaving the academy wasn't an option and I wouldn't consider it either!

　　I dragged my cold feet in an unknown direction. The sky was getting darker and the coldness of the night wouldn't stop sweeping my feet. I thought the desert was cold, but it was a child's play compared to the academy, and I couldn't help but hug my bag tighter to contain the cold.

　　I continued walking, searching for a place to rest for the night but there was no empty place in sight. I walked past some students who all looked at me, some with pity and some with disdain, but none of them came to approach me like Felix and the other guy did.

　　My legs were getting heavier by the second and my lips were becoming chapped. I gripped my bag tightly, borrowing all the strength from it to continue pushing forward. If I were to fall into the snow, I would die before morning •

　　I walked around for a while without the slightest thought of giving up, and as if the moon goddess was finally ready to receive my prayers, I saw a snow-covered house at the end of the road, and a stronger fighting spirit erupted from my soul, filling me with enough strength to increase my pace.

　　The snow house was very big but shabby. Unlike the dorms and other buildings in the academy, the snow house looked like it had been deserted for years already, and upon entering, Cobwebs filled the way.

　　I placed my bag on my shoulders, letting it rest on my back while I paved the way with my hands. Hitting my nose now and then to relieve my nose of the dust that flew into it. I kicked away some dirt on the ground and soon found a room in the far corner.

　　Without wasting time, I rushed towards the room and pushed it open. To my surprise, there was a sealed bed and the room wasn't as dirty as the rest of the house ~

　　I entered the room and cleaned it up a little. After that, I placed my bag on the opened bed and lay in it. It was already very late and the night turned increasingly cold. I shivered, curled up into a ball to face the cold but it wasn't helping.

　　My teeth clattered, my body trembled and my chapped lips seemed to be turning purple. The cold was becoming unbearable.

　　"You can't endure this, Natalie," My wolf muttered and my body trembled as a response.

　　"Do you think I have a choice then? Those two won't let me in. What do I have to do?" I asked while blowing air into my palm.

　　Even the air turned cold before it reached my hand. It was terrifying. It was as if the cold was planning to make me into a block of ice and it was scary~

　　"Why don't you give it another try? You can't endure this," She pleaded.

　　I fell into deep silence. Truthfully, desperate moments call for desperate measures.

　　"Okay," I replied and stood up. "I will give that a try," I added.

　　I picked up my bag and stepped out of the snow house again. Through the dark snowy night, I dragged my feet toward the dorm that rejected me earlier, hoping it would accept me now.

　　There was a knock on the door with a sound from my heart. That was how I had been knocking for the past few seconds, but there was no response. Everywhere was silent. It was obvious the cold had sent them to bed, but I was there alone, with a bag on my chest, as I knocked desperately on a door. Never in my life had I dreamt of something like this happening to me before. It was just too humiliating~

　　"I don't think they will open this door," I mumbled, shaking my head.

　　"They are too mean," My wolf seemed angry, too, as she replied.

　　I sniffed and turned around. Maybe it would be better to brace through the cold all through the night in the snow house than let other students see me spending the night in front of the dorm...

　　The sound of the door opening stopped my thoughts, and I turned around to see Lucian and Rafael staring at me with their icy-cold eyes that were as cold as the night. "Come in," Just when I was still stunned, one of them said and they both left.

　　I entered the room and locked the door behind me. It still felt like a dream, it was hard to believe they would let me in after what they had done earlier~

　　"I thought you wouldn't come back," Lucian taunted and I lowered my head.

　　The warmth from the room was slowly embracing me, pushing away the coldness that had taken shelter under my skin. The comfortable feeling pushed me to the verge of tears but I couldn't bring myself to shed it. "Thanks for letting me in," I said slowly and walked over to the empty bed in the room. I could tell that the two biggest beds already belonged to the two so I picked the one that was a bit far from theirs and placed my bag on it.

　　Just when I thought I could rest my eyes, I saw the twins walking closer, and my heart palpitated.

　　I had a bad feeling about this...
